Travel organizer tips
Do I need to have sailing experience to book a cruise ?
If you do not have a license or in any case prefer to have an experienced captain with you, you can hire the services of a captain, (just like you can ask to have more crew on board, like: hostess, cook, yoga instructor or more). The captain will take care of sailing maneuvers, moorings and anchoring and setting the best itinerary to enjoy the cruise. Only if you are interested, you can ask to help the captain with some easy tasks. All in the spirit to have some fun and participate in everyday life on board.
Seasickness, what to do ?
Our recommendation is to be careful on the start of your holiday: do not spend time inside the cabin while the boat moves, go outside to take some fresh air, look at the panorama and stay still as much as possible, so your body will get used to the movement and the next days you will feel good! If this does not work then there are some things you can do to minimize the effects. Ginger: raw, candied or brewed in a tea. Sea bands, elastic bracelets that put pressure on a point that is believed to relieve nausea, and finally medication.
How do I get on board from the airport ?
If the offer for transport is not already given with the logistic information upon completing the booking, then the best way is to contact Intersailclub staff. For shared cruises sometimes a taxi transfer can be organized for all the guests arriving in the same airport at similar times. For private cruises, it is alway best to organize the transfer in advance, so as to avoid last minute high rates at airports.
What happens on a typical day on board ?
Every day will be quite different from the other, as the beauty of being on a boat is just this! The boat moves along an itinerary that is partly decided beforehand and partly influenced by the weather. Sometimes the boat will be anchored in a bay and sometimes moored in a marina. If you want to go on land, you will either be brought by the captain with the dinghy (a small rubber boat, with engine) or simply step down on the pontoon. Enjoying some local life, going on a shopping spree, eating in the local restaurants, participating in local activities (winery visits, trekking, biking, cooking classes and more) and generally sightseeing is a fundamental part of your sailing holiday just like swimming, sunbathing and relaxing on board in those moments when going to land will not be practical.
What do I put in my luggage ?
The available space for luggage on a sailing vessel is limited. A soft canvas luggage is the best solution, since it can be folded and stored at the bottom of the wardrobe. No need to bring with you too many clothes, you will mostly use swimsuits and some light clothes for when you will step on solid ground, perhaps something special for a night out. Just don’t forget your sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, flippers, swimsuits galore and a beach towel, some earbuds for music and to bring something that will keep you warm, because even during summer at night it gets quite cold at sea!
Can I bring my children on board ?
The answer is yes…for the most part! For shared cruises, children are allowed on board from 14 years old onward, as smaller children might be difficult to handle among strangers and might influence the experience of the other guests negatively. For private cruises, there is really no limit to the age of small children on board and the general consensus is that small children on board, alway have a fun time.
